HEAVENS FIRST LAW.

why Order Can Truthfully he Callet
the Key to Unlimited Happiness.
One of the most important lessons oil
life. and yet so universally overlooked.
is order. Through every natural king
dom nothing but order prevails. A
definite arrangement Of the elements
in every material form is sure TO DO
found: the law Of erystallisation OF the
rocks is distinctive in every Variety
the varied structure Of the organic
Kingdoms all display harmony OF
arrangement attractive to every stud
emit of nature.
Above all these. the browning work
of the Divine mind, sits man, In whom
is united these Kingdoms. an epitome
of the universe-the only creature Of
Gods handiwork possessing the indie
pendence of free will. the reason domi-
mating the instinct Yet strange as 1t
seems, man continually forgets tho
significance of this all-pervading
order; and it does not cease with the
universe of worlds. the realm OF
physics, but, more refined in its uses
and benefits to hum anity, exists in the
laws of mental and moral philosophy.
In degree as man comprehends and
makes practical this fact, is he made
better Order is the key to unlimited
happiness; it is the law of moral
gravitation; the fulflment OF which
gives to us the full stature of perfect
manhood and womanhood.
When called to treat the sick. our
measure of hope for restoring tho pa
tient depends upon the character of
the patient Self-possession. even
with the children, the result Of orderly
habits and good training, often deter
mines the question of recovery. The
agitation produced in the minds Of UNI
governablo children by the necessary
treatment of the physician, with tho
most gentle care, frequently
causes fatal termination. Too
often the physicians judicious sugges-
tons for the restoration OF his patient
are ignored. because the subject has
not been taught to yield to moral re-
straint; every effort to control the case
but increases the alteration. until the
friends are compelled, helplessly, to
watch the drifting down to death.
Thous ands of precious lives are thus
sacrificed annually. not only in the
case of children, but as often with
adults.
Truly. "Order is Heavens first law"
1t begins with the planting of the seed
and must continue through every stage
of growth, morally and physically, to
insure the fullest fruition.
Gas the twig is bent the tree is in
